It’s about the days lived.

This is the first of two group projects done during Gunner School. The brief was to create a voice over script and create an animation around it. Our goal was to create a unified look even when mixing different types of animation. It was a really great experience to learn how to work in a team, and see how much more a group can do than just myself.

  • What parts did you animate?

    I did the start, the hands in the next two scenes, the whole knife turn scene, the soup scenes, the grandma serving soup, and the movement in the last scene.

  • How did you animate the reaching hand and knife turn scenes?

    I was shown the power of path animation and used those scenes to explore it and try to mimic cell!

  • How did you do the soup?

    I drew the ellipse for the soup, duplicated it and applied a wave warp to it. Then I solo’d both layers and exported it as a PNG sequence. I added the texture later on and did the same process and matted it to the soup. The vegetables are just shapes with an inner shadow. The bubbles was done by scaling a semi circle and then animating the stroke width to make it pop! Then lots of odd frame rates to mix it all together.
